Long-Term Neck Pain Stressing You Out?
Neck pain and headaches: major problem in modern society
Millions suffer. Are you one of them?
Did you know? Globally, a staggering 203 million people struggled with neck pain in 2020 alone. Women are especially susceptible, with a higher prevalence rate than men. And here’s the kicker: this number is only expected to grow by 32.5% by 2050.
Neck pain isn’t just common, it’s a major burden, ranking 11th out of 369 conditions for lost healthy years. Don’t let neck pain become your statistic. At Movement Chiropractic, we specialize in helping people find lasting relief and reclaim their lives.
Research has shown that the increasing use of handheld devices can lead to poor posture, which can result in neck pain and related issues.
Is Your Phone Causing Neck Pain?
With technology being a big part of our lives for work, staying connected, and having fun, it’s important to keep our necks healthy.
Looking down at your phone for long periods strains your neck muscles, causing pain, stiffness, and headaches.
The main issue is forward head posture (FHP). When you bend your head forward, it puts much more weight on your neck, like holding a heavy book at arm’s length instead of close to your chest.
